eric,

you wanna show you car, right?

then forget the megans. the calipers are fugly, anyway. and yeh, you'll prolly get crap for having them when you start showing your car.

of your list, go with stoptech or project mu. doesn't jbt make rotora brakes?

 

Not gonna lie about this one, i almost baught the megan racing BBK, desided to get wheels and suspension instead. After scotts review on them i was very impressed. He said the only thing that kept him from running them more was the fact that he boiled his brake fluid. He said they were performing just as well as his ap racing kit that he uses on his car for all his track events. If scott from relentless gives them a 9 out of 10 they must be damn good brakes. Just have them painted another color.

Another set you might want to look into is a company called VTTR - i havn't heard much about them, but they are more popular among the skyline users. Here is a link to what their BBK looks like...to me it looks like the endless BBK -but trust me...i searched inside and out and really didn't find much at all. One kid on here had them, but never wrote a review about them...

Thanks for the reply

hmm.. we'll see.. I needa sleep on this one

 

Don't know yet. Went to install them 2 weeks ago, found out my GT-7's wouldn't clear in the rear. Dropped the car off today to finish it up, by my new Advan's haven't shown up like I was expecting them to, so I'm hoping they arrive tomorrow so I can drive my car home!

But I should be able to tell you in about a week.

 

I don't think Klumzyee is going to track his show car, so your not going to experience much fade on the streets. Just get what YOU want. Brembo 12pot would be awesome.

 

yeh, he wants to track it now/then.

 

He says right here in this thread that he wants to track it on the weekends, if you read it you would know that

 

yeah i'm looking for something I an use at the track but wont kill me on a cold start or squeek at every stop. I'd make this car more towards track if I didnt need to promote SurfaceMODz.

Iono.. so confusing ._. boohoo its almost as hard as choosing which TT kit to get

Thanks for everyones feedback.. also scott (wa2good ?sp?) has been a big big help

Are project mu's full floating calipers?

- Eric

 

brake squeaking is usually due to pad choice, not caliper choice. Alot of people swap between street pads and track pads for the best of both worlds, which is why it is key to choose a caliper that uses a standard pad size so you have alot of options.

 

I believe that are fixed calipers

 

I know but I'm compairing out of the box kits =P and also why i made street/track use such a big factor.. Also I dont want to get softer pads for street use only to have them chewed up by the rotors

People running street pads on the track are probably not very experienced (I would assume) and thus are probably not a very good source for information. Track temps, tire grip, pad type, fluid type, and driving style all play a factor in brake performance. Loading on the brakes with street pads and tires will be a drastic difference from track pads and r-compounds (or grippier) tires. For instance, so you really need an apples to apples comparison to make that call. I have no good information on any other brake setup, so I can't sit here and tell you that one company is better than another, but if you're looking for brake performance data, you should really get it from the people who know what they're talking about. You wouldn't ask your doctor how to fix your car, or ask your mechanic about what medication to take, so you might not want to get information from just anyone.

 

Exactly, people who are using street pads at the track aren't pushing their cars very hard so they think they aren't experiencing fade, but put the same kit in the hands of a hardcore track Z and you'll fade right away. Street pads on any bbk will not withstand the abuse of a few hard laps. Its like the people who say their OEM brakes didn't fade on the track, but its because they didn't push it as hard as others have. Just something to keep in mind.
